   Which wouldn't have be done if not worth it considering Tor.  And with   
   such minimal further improvements required it looks like it's an already   
   perfect concept.  It may only lack alternative inter-remailer   
   communication through Tor though that isn't a core remailer task but a   
   simple MTA configuration issue.

   Which security flaws?  You don't think of Internet I/O which anyhow has   
   to be handled by specialized communication software like OmniMix?
